This strand is designed for schools that are either early in the implementation of school-wide PBIS or have been implementing for multiple years. The focus of this strand will be to provide participants with a framework for sustaining effective PBIS practices in schools: 1. Understand and implement strategies to sustain school-wide PBIS in schools 2. Develop methods to increase the effectiveness of school-wide PBIS at the classroom level.

3. Understand and implement strategies for individual populations of children.

4. Understand and implement strategies for building district-level capacity to sustain school-wide PBIS. This strand is designed for schools in the initial stages of implementing school-wide PBIS. The focus of this strand will be the development and employment of a schoolwide PBIS plan: 1. Understand how to change the culture of discipline in schools from reactive to preventative.

2. Understand the importance of focusing on prevention in schools, rather than simply “being positive.”

3. Understand the difference between rewards and recognition and why recognition is more effective.

4. Develop the five essential components of school-wide PBIS: expectations, routines, discipline procedures, recognition, and data collection.

5. Establish an effective and efficient data collection system to gather critical data that will save staff/administration time.

This strand is designed for schools implementing school-wide PBIS seeking individualized interventions for difficult populations. The focus of this strand will be to develop interventions to be deployed in schools for students who need more intense interventions: 1. Understand and implement intense strategies to support students with high functioning Autism or Asperger’s through school-wide PBIS. 2. Understand and implement intense strategies to support students with emotional and behavioral disorders through school-wide PBIS. 3. Understand and implement peer-to-peer interventions to support difficult populations of students.

4. Understand and implement intense strategies to support students at risk through school-wide PBIS. This strand is designed for schools seeking to infuse behavioral and mental health into a tiered PBIS system. The focus of this strand will be to develop the Interconnected System’s Framework (ISF) in schools: 1. Understand and implement strategies to identify students with behavioral health needs.

2. Understand and implement evidence-based practices within an ISF. 3. Understand and connect to the expertise of clinicians to improve student outcomes.

Session 1

“Addressing Behaviors in Schools” Response to Intervention (RtI) is intended to be a process for providing a continuum of academic and behavioral interventions. While the majority of districts have a clear innovative academic interventions firmly rooted in data-based decision-making, most districts revert to more reactionary and antiquated behavioral interventions when discipline is necessary. In the absence of innovative practices, districts are at a disadvantage in terms of decision-making and are open to more challenges regarding behavioral interventions. This session will question conventional thinking in terms of discipline in schools. The goal of this session will be to highlight practices that are not effective in addressing behavioral issues and suggest news methods of approaching discipline in school.

“Advocating for and Supporting Students with E/BD in Transitioning from Restrictive to Less Restrictive Settings” Many students with E/BD are served in alternative and restrictive settings such as self-contained schools and self-contained classrooms. While these placements are appropriate when student behavior presents risks, planning a transition back to the traditional education setting should be accomplished prior to a change in placement.

This presentation will overview transition planning and strategies educators can use to advocate for your students’ transitions to less restrictive settings. We will focus on collaborating with families and general educators in supporting student transitions.
